About Tom
Tom is a very well mannered and happy dog. He loves affection , and scratches and especially loves his treats. He also would love to snuggle up on the couch with you.
Tom's always happy, likes his walks but short walks are good for him. He does like to pull to get from one tree to the next and also if he sees squirrels or rabbits he wants to chase.
He is house-trained, and does not require a crate. Sleeps well at the side of the bed.
Tom knows most commands like sit, come, stay, lay down.
Tom wasn't introduced to any new dogs while in foster care, but dogs would walk on the other side of road and he was ok with that. Tom lived with two other dogs, and was ok with them, except would nip if they came close to his food. He will also nip if you go near his toys, so you would just need to take some precautions.
Anyone looking for a great companion? He’s your guy!

Why We Love Fostering
-
I grew up in an apartment where no pets were allowed. When I met my husband, he had a beautiful boy cat named Webster. He was such a good boy, he was so sweet and always sat between my legs. I treated him like my own. I had never felt the unconditional love that he gave me. When he passed away, I decided I wanted to give my love to cats unconditionally. My husband and my daughter agreed to be a foster family for kitties who needed help. I can't imagine a life or a home without cats in it.
Why We Love Fostering
-
The thought of cats and kittens missing out on a loving home is one big reason as to why I foster. I thoroughly enjoy watching homeless cats go from being afraid of their own shadow, to throwing themselves at you with all their pent up love. It is so hard to see the cats/kittens leave once they are ready, but knowing someone has adopted a once abandoned sweetheart is the best feeling ever.
